Automotive Industry is Booming in Germany
Before heading off to Esslingen, Germany (near Stuttgart) to help Index celebrate its 100th anniversary, my publisher told me that the area is “the Detroit of Germany.” I soon found that to be an apt description as a large number of shops I visited were heavily vested in automotive manufacturing. What’s even more noteworthy is that business was booming.

Heller Is on the Move
A recent open house—which coincided with the machine tool builder’s 30th anniversary in the United States—shed light on Heller Machine Tools’ recent success and plans for continued growth.

On Display at “Technology Days”
The Nanoslide cylinder bore coating process and the MC20 horizontal machining module received a lot of attention at Heller Machine Tools' "Technology Days" open house event.

Flexible Production System
A manufacturing concept for flexible production of prismatic powertrain components—from engine blocks to transmission housings—is offered by Heller Machine Tools. The company’s ModuleLine System (MLS) allows manufacturers to respond to changes in part designs or volumes.

HMCs Designed For Flexibility
Heller’s full-color brochure features the MCH line of HMCs. a one-piece, cast iron construction and include Siemens 840D CNCs, swiveling pallet changers, rotary indexing tables and more.

High Speed, Flexible Performance
Heller's five-axis MCH-C machining center is equipped with a universal swivel head and a two-speed gearbox, making the machines suited for low- to medium-volume, flexible machining of tough materials common to medical, power transmission and aerospace parts. The machine can accommodate from prototype, batch, and he
